Neo-Nazi bands are organised crime in Germany

"A German court made legal history yesterday by ruling that a neo-Nazi band that belted out racist lyrics to electric guitars was on a par with organized crime groups like the Mafia. The court jailed Michael Regener, the song writer of the Landser trio, for 40 months for sedition, spreading Nazi propaganda and heading a criminal gang. Andree Moericke, the guitar player, and Christian Wendorff, the drummer, were given 21 and 22 months, each suspended, and ordered to do 90 hours community service. Ending a six-month trial, the Berlin
court described the trio as 'self-appointed terrorists with electric guitars.'" (12/22/03)

Alas this is merely censorship. Wonder if they are going to after far-left punk bands or Islamic rap groups with the same aplomb? Somehow I rather doubt it.
